playing elden ring right after watching state of play has convinced me that fromsoft have perfected storytelling in action games

view from my desk

the problem with high fidelity graphics is they show you Wolverine and it looks high fidelity then they show you ILL and now Wolverine looks like a game from 2016

been making ATS for 2 years now

driving on the left lane in 007 is harder than demon's souls

No Sun To Worship (2023)

pretty pleased with how dino movement is coming together. no physics, no IK, no path post-processing. Just simple A* pathfinding, some additive head/tail bend animations, and a looot of carefully tweaked code lol youtu.be/GtXeTjHmBRo

6?!

did Thick as Thieves get rescoped like 2 months before release? it is now co-op (no PvP like announced), 2 levels, $5 it's fun honestly, just seems like a strange scope for this kind of dev

Post a meme made by you (This might be the most banger static image I've ever produced)

elden ring is as good as they said damn

is it possible to learn this power?

it’s crazy how much “taking a walk” will help you solve programming stuff

what no one tells you about making a really good stealth-action game is that once you nail the stealth part, you have to nail the action part too

It Comes In Waves (2023)

Replying to another post about what are the oldest assets you have that went into a game Oldest assets I still have the models/textures for are the Lord of the Rings:Two Towers characters -I did almost all of them and still want to dig em out and touch them up in 3d Coat or something

melissa barrera will be in a merlino game one day

cocaina of time

possibly the indie game that inspired me the most certainly the one that convinced me i should make games

Oh yeah, derr, wishlist haha: store.steampowered.com/app/3038700/...

i’d like to become a positive person again state of the world + work stress and life stress got me down the wrong path, angry and arrogant

finished another junji ito collection (Tombs) such an interesting mind

i think the hardest part of this microindie stuff for me is being both director and individual contributor at the same time you have to dream big but then you have to execute that dream and then you have to harshly judge what you executed

the only way they dont kick my ass

I theorize that Blender implemented Light Linking in EEVEE solely because they knew I would need it to emulate 6th gen videogame shadows. Anyway, it's been a blessing... a blenderssing?

Happy Shellday

"It wasn't me, Sergei, I was in Electrical doing tasks"

love having lots of QoL improvements this time, like this "automatic crouch in cover" that @treversmith.bsky.social set up

PEAK

i was trapped in an elevator today for like an hour in this brutal heatwave, but i had an ice latte i don’t know what it means

saying “sounds good” after the publisher gives me feedback

prototyping, dont forget to look fwd

this game always blows my mind

Chat, I have become attracted to Elden Ring

this prototype is so damn brown and orange but i still love it

perfect dark is so pretty i think it's time to replay it

non-lethal grenade you might remember it if you're an OG merlino

making art is a humiliating power dynamic where you have the urge to constantly stand there naked for others to evaluate you and even if they like you, they will never like you as much as you think they should so you go back to getting even more naked to ask for a new evaluation

@mon_paimon on X postad an awesome mecha game setup and all I could think was~

sometimes you just HAVE to throw a little shotgunarm dude

took this screenshot and he looks like such a creep
